The Nets announced on Thursday they are giving Russian-speaking fans the opportunity to connect with the team by making its website viewable in Russian. The website will be available at www.netsrussia.com.

Russian-speaking fans will have access to articles, interviews with players, coaches and management, photos and ticket information.
